X-Plane
X-Plane entries from the prepared 1000-title candidate queue, researched for Sami's fidelity-first archive route.
X-Plane · 1995 X-Plane
Primary full run
Current X-Plane 12 desktop release
Windows PC / macOS / Linux
X-Plane is a long-running simulator rather than a fixed one-and-done game. The current X-Plane 12 desktop build is the practical primary route because it is actively maintained, runs on desktop platforms, and incorporates the latest official flight-model, weather, scenery, aircraft, and performance updates.
Fidelity vs completeness conflict
The current build is the fidelity route, but simulator completeness depends on version, aircraft, scenery, add-ons, hardware, navdata, and weather state.
Definitive edition
Current X-Plane 12 desktop build with exact version and add-ons documented
XCOM
XCOM entries from the prepared 1000-title candidate queue, researched for Sami's fidelity-first archive route.
XCOM · 2012 XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Primary full run
XCOM: Enemy Unknown Complete Pack / Enemy Within-enabled PC route
Windows PC
The PC Complete Pack route gives the best tactical capture path and can include Enemy Within plus DLC. Enemy Within substantially alters the campaign, so the archive should record whether the base Enemy Unknown campaign or the expansion-enhanced campaign was played.
Fidelity vs completeness conflict
Enemy Within is a major expansion layer, so archive notes must distinguish base Enemy Unknown from the expansion-enabled campaign.
Definitive edition
Windows PC Complete Pack, with Enemy Within state explicitly recorded
Xenoblade
Monolith Soft's Nintendo-published action RPG series, covering the numbered Xenoblade Chronicles games, Xenoblade Chronicles X, major story expansions, remasters, and the announced next entry.
Xenoblade · 2010 Xenoblade Chronicles
Primary full run
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Nintendo Switch 2
The Switch 2 Edition is the highest-fidelity official route: it builds on the Switch Definitive Edition, keeps the Future Connected epilogue, and adds Switch 2 enhancements including 4K TV output and 60 fps.
Definitive edition
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Xenoblade · 2015 Xenoblade Chronicles X
Primary full run

Xenoblade · 2017 Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Primary full run
Switch version with Expansion Pass; revisit Switch 2 Edition after launch
Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch release plus Expansion Pass is the complete playable route currently verified. Nintendo has announced a Switch 2 Edition with higher fidelity and new content, but final best-version judgment should wait until that edition is available and verified.
Fidelity vs completeness conflict
Current Switch plus Expansion Pass is the complete playable route today, but the announced Switch 2 Edition adds higher fidelity and new content; primary must be revisited after release.
Definitive edition
Nintendo Switch version with Expansion Pass for now; revisit Switch 2 Edition after launch
Xenoblade · 2018 Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country
Primary full run
Standalone release or Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Expansion Pass version
Nintendo Switch
Torna is currently verified on Nintendo Switch as both a standalone release and Expansion Pass content. Any Switch 2 upgrade path should be revisited after launch details are fully verified.
Fidelity vs completeness conflict
Standalone Switch and Expansion Pass access are verified, but the Switch 2 upgrade path needs post-release confirmation before a final primary can be assigned.
Definitive edition
Nintendo Switch standalone/Expansion Pass route for now; revisit Switch 2 upgrade after launch
Xenoblade · 2022 Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Primary full run
Switch version with Expansion Pass / Future Redeemed
Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch release plus Expansion Pass, including Future Redeemed, is the complete playable route currently verified. Nintendo has announced a Switch 2 Edition with higher fidelity and new content, but final best-version judgment should wait until that edition is available and verified.
Fidelity vs completeness conflict
Current Switch plus Expansion Pass is the complete playable route today, but the announced Switch 2 Edition adds higher fidelity and new content; primary must be revisited after release.
Definitive edition
Nintendo Switch version with Expansion Pass for now; revisit Switch 2 Edition after launch
Xenoblade · 2027 Xenoblade Genesis
Primary full run
Needs post-release research
Announced - unreleased
Nintendo has announced Xenoblade Genesis for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, but no final shipped build exists to compare for fidelity or completeness.
Xenogears
Square's original PlayStation science-fiction RPG, the debut entry in the broader Xeno lineage before Xenosaga and Xenoblade became separate spiritual-successor branches.
Xenogears · 1998 Xenogears
Primary full run
Original PlayStation release
PlayStation
Xenogears has not received a sourced modern remaster; the original PlayStation release remains the complete version, with high-quality PS1 emulation offering the best fidelity/capture route for an owned copy.
Definitive edition
Original PlayStation release
Xenosaga
Monolith Soft and Namco's science-fiction Xeno subseries, covering the PS2 trilogy, the Japan-only Xenosaga Freaks disc, the canonical Pied Piper mobile prequel and its 2026 G-MODE rerelease, and the Nintendo DS remake of Episodes I and II.
Xenosaga · 2002 Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
Primary full run
North American PS2 release via PCSX2
PlayStation 2
The main English PS2 release is the cleanest full-playthrough route, and PCSX2 provides the highest-fidelity capture path. The Japanese Reloaded rerelease adds bonuses, while the DS remake retells Episode I/II with extra cut-story material, so those are noted as secondary/alternate routes rather than replacing the original Episode I.
Fidelity vs completeness conflict
PCSX2 gives the best-looking Episode I route, but the DS remake has additional story material; treat DS as a supplemental retelling.
Definitive edition
North American PlayStation 2 release via PCSX2, plus DS remake as supplemental story route
Xenosaga · 2004 Xenosaga Freaks
Primary full run
Japanese PS2 release via PCSX2
PlayStation 2

Definitive edition
Original PlayStation 2 release
Xenosaga · 2004 Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose
Primary full run
PlayStation 2 release via PCSX2
PlayStation 2
Episode II is a PS2 title with no HD remaster; PCSX2 is the highest-fidelity route for the original console game. The DS remake retells Episodes I and II with additional cut-story material, so it is a secondary route for completeness.
Fidelity vs completeness conflict
PCSX2 is the best-looking route for Episode II, while the DS remake has extra cut-story material.
Definitive edition
PlayStation 2 release via PCSX2, plus DS remake as supplemental story route
Xenosaga · 2004 Xenosaga: Pied Piper
Primary full run
G-MODE Archives+ Steam release
Windows
Pied Piper was originally a Japan-only feature-phone prequel, but the 2026 G-MODE Archives+ Steam release is the most accessible and highest-fidelity official preservation route. It remains Japanese-language only.
Definitive edition
